[ Upstream commit 82e33f249f1126cf3c5f39a31b850d485ac33bc3 ]

Coccinelle complains about the nested reuse of the pointer `iter' with
different pointer type:

./fs/proc/kcore.c:515:26-30: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:534:23-27: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:550:40-44: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:568:27-31: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:581:28-32: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:599:27-31: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:607:38-42: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:614:26-30: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499

Replacing `struct kcore_list *iter' with `struct kcore_list *tmp' doesn't change the
scope and the functionality is the same and coccinelle seems happy.

NOTE: There was an issue with using `struct kcore_list *pos' as the nested iterator.
      The build did not work!

The "arg-&gt;vec_len" variable is a u64 that comes from the user at the start
of the function.  The "arg-&gt;vec_len * sizeof(struct page_region))"
multiplication can lead to integer wrapping.  Use size_mul() to avoid
that.

Also the size_add/mul() functions work on unsigned long so for 32bit
systems we need to ensure that "arg-&gt;vec_len" fits in an unsigned long.

seq_printf is costy, on a system with n CPUs, reading /proc/softirqs
would yield 10*n decimal values, and the extra cost parsing format string
grows linearly with number of cpus. Replace seq_printf with
seq_put_decimal_ull_width have significant performance improvement.
On an 8CPUs system, reading /proc/softirqs show ~40% performance
gain with this patch.

show show_smap_vma_flags() has been a using misspelled initializer in
mnemonics[] - it needed to initialize 2 element array of char and it used
NUL-padded 2 character string literals (i.e.  3-element initializer).

This has been spotted by gcc-15[*]; prior to that gcc quietly dropped the
3rd eleemnt of initializers.  To fix this we are increasing the size of
mnemonics[] (from mnemonics[BITS_PER_LONG][2] to
mnemonics[BITS_PER_LONG][3]) to accomodate the NUL-padded string literals.

This also helps us in simplyfying the logic for printing of the flags as
instead of printing each character from the mnemonics[], we can just print
the mnemonics[] using seq_printf.

Stephen pointed out:

: The C standard explicitly allows for a string initializer to be too long
: due to the NUL byte at the end ...  so this warning may be overzealous.

but let's make the warning go away anwyay.

<title>fs/proc/kcore.c: allow translation of physical memory addresses</title>

When /proc/kcore is read an attempt to read the first two pages results in
HW-specific page swap on s390 and another (so called prefix) pages are
accessed instead.  That leads to a wrong read.

Allow architecture-specific translation of memory addresses using
kc_xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and kc_unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks similarily
to /dev/mem xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks.  That
way an architecture can deal with specific physical memory ranges.

Re-use the existing /dev/mem callback implementation on s390, which
handles the described prefix pages swapping correctly.

For other architectures the default callback is basically NOP.  It is
expected the condition (vaddr == __va(__pa(vaddr))) always holds true for
KCORE_RAM memory type.
